Well. the 19 in is easier for me to see than the 15" computer, so now w/ the TV sitting at the aisle edge of the dinette table in up position, we can both sit on sofa and watch it. I cannot see great detail of a football game w/o leaning forward, but mostly, it looks like it is a winner.
Maybe we'll figure a nice carry case w/ the elec extension cord and a (to be looked for) flexible long coax cable that will both always connected to the TV inside the case and amp and power outlets in the cabover right cabinet.
